39 ORDINANCE NO. 480, SECTION 45.1 (38) AND SECTION 45.8:
40 Senior Planner Ken Baker presented this item to the Commission for a Specific Use Permit for a
41 Telecommunication Tower (stealth light standard at Bicentennial Park) per Zoning Ordinance No.
42 480, Section 45.1 (38) and Section 45.8, on property described as Lot 2R2, L.B.G. Hall No. 686
43 Addition; and Tracts 1, 1B, 1C1, 1C2, 1C3, IE, 213, 2A1, 2B1, 3C, 31), 31) 1A, and 3D6, situated in
44 the Littleberry G. Hall Survey, Abstract No. 686, and being 61.61 acres. This property is located on
45 the north side of West Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) generally in between Shady Oaks Drive
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on January 4, 2001 1
I and North White Chapel Boulevard. The Current Zoning is "S-P-1" Detailed Site Plan District with
2 "CS" Community Service District uses to include limited outside storage. The Land Use Category
3 is Public Parks/Open Space. The Owner of the property is City of Southlake, and the Applicant is
4 Voice Stream Wireless. 35 written notices were sent to property owners within the 200' notification
5 area, and three responses were received with two being in favor and one being opposed.
6
7 Michael Baty (Voice Stream Wireless) presented this item to the Commission and reviewed the
8 requested variances with them.
9
10 Chairman King asked if this site is an alternative site to the Timarron site. Mr. Baty said yes; this
11 site is not in addition to the Timarron site.
12
13 Commissioner Horne said he is concerned about a kid sitting on this equipment box to watch a
14 baseball game. He asked if that could hurt the kid or the unit itself. Mr. Baty said the vault itself is
15 locked and there would be no harm to the unit.
16
17 Commissioner Horne asked if there is anything dangerous protruding from the vault. Mr. Baty said
18 no.
19
20 Commissioner Horne said he is just concerned because there may be louvers or vents that a kid
21 could stick his finger into. Mr. Baty said if the Commission would like to see a chain link fence with
22 a locked gate around it, they would be more than happy to assuage their concern by doing that.
23
24 Commissioner Muller said she thinks they may need that.
25
26 Commissioner Horne said some chain link and shrubbery would satisfy him.
27
28 Mr. Baty said okay; they will make it happen. He asked how high the fence should be.
29 Commissioner Horne said the shrubs and the fence should be commensurate.
30
31 Sterling McMath (Construction Manager for Voice Stream Wireless) answered the question
32 regarding the louvers. He said right behind them is a fine, heavy-gauge steel screen so there is not
33 open equipment behind the louvers. He said you cannot stick a pencil through it or stick your fingers
34 up in there. It is primarily to keep rodents and field-dwelling animals out of the air conditioning
35 units.
36
37 Commissioner Stansell asked how liability issues would be handled. He asked what if the pole falls.
38 Chairman King said Voice Stream is carrying liability insurance; the Park Board required that.
39
40 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 01-04-01, tape 1, section #0892)
41
42 Chairman King opened the Public Hearing.
43
44 Lan Jefferies, 300 Green Oaks Lane, Southlake, Texas, asked if the light is a steady light or if it will
45 be blinking every five seconds. She also expressed her concern regarding the electromagnetic field.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on January 4, 2001 2
I She said it could affect the quality of life of surrounding citizens and also people in the ball field.
2
3 Mr. Baker said the light is lower than some of the other lights in the park due to the elevation
4 change. The lights will have to meet all FAA Standards. He said it will be a steady light.
5
6 Mr. Baker also said they are required to meet all of the ANSI Standards for non-ionizing
7 electromagnetic radiation.
8
9 Mr. Baty said they meet all health and safety standards. He reminded the Commission there are three
10 carriers already on the water tower in the park who have to meet the same standards.
11
12 Mr. Baty offered to meet with Mrs. Jefferies to pinpoint her concerns further.
13
14 Edward Stefanko, 320 Green Oaks Lane, Southlake, Texas, asked what happened to their number
15 one site on the water tower.
16
17 Mr. Baty said there was a lack of ground space according to the City of Southlake's Engineering
18 Department which prevented them from being able to support another set of antennas on the water
19 tower.
20
21 Mr. Stefanko clarified that there is not room for a 2'9" X 3'6" ground space. Mr. Baty said that is
22 what they were clearly told numerous times.
23
24 Mr. Stefanko said the next logical place would be on a light standard along the south side on
25 Southlake Boulevard. He asked if that was ever looked at. Mr. Baty said the park drove them in this
26 direction. The Parks Department knew they were reconfiguring their softball field, and they felt this
27 was the best opportunity to meet both Voice Stream's objectives and the City's objectives.
28
29 Mr. Stefanko asked how they are accessing the trunk lines for the tower from the next closest trunk
30 lines. Kevin Maws (RF Engineering Manager for Voice Stream Wireless) said they typically install
31 a telephone circuit underground, or they may use a temporary microwave until the renovation of the
32 ball field. Ultimately, they want to use an underground cable.
33
34 Mr. Stefanko said that is another reason the south side of the park makes more sense. He said they
35 would be right there next to the GTE switchbox and they already have towers 75' plus and they
36 don't have residents 290' from a tower that is 20' taller than the existing standards out there.
37
38 Mr. Baty asked if Mr. Stefanko is available to serve on the Park Board. Mr. Stefanko said it is
39 obvious the Park Board is not serving his interests.
40
41 Mr. Stefanko said it is hard for him to believe there is not a 6' X 6' area at the bottom of the water
42 tower. He said that is Voice Stream's optimum solution. That would be the most resident-friendly
43 solution.
44
45 Graduate Engineer Angela Turner said the water tower itself has three carriers on it, but the
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on January 4, 2001 3
I question isn't the water tower, it is the space below. The space that is open underneath the tower
2 already has underground utilities underneath it. She said there is a 30" water main on the northeast
3 side and on the northwest side, there is an electrical line.
4
5 Mr. Baty said one thing we need to remember is that the actual underground size of this vault is
6 more like 10' X 15% it is not the small footprint we see above ground.
7
8 Chairman King closed the Public Hearing.
9
10 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 01-04-01, tape 1, section #1462)
11
12 Commissioner Muller questioned why this particular spot was chosen over another area in the park.
13 Director of Planning Bruce Payne said to answer that would be second-guessing the Park Board and
14 that would be difficult to do. He said there is no one here from the Parks Department.
15
16 Vice-Chairman Boutte said he suspects that no one from the neighborhood attended the Park Board
17 meeting and they may not have even thought about some of the issues Mr. Stefanko brought up
18 tonight. He said he is sure they thought it would be a great way to save the cost of one of the light
19 poles. Mr. Baker said the light poles cost about $20,000. Vice-Chairman Boutte said that is $20,000
20 that could go toward something else in the Park budget.
21
22 Chairman King asked if anyone is ready to make a motion. Commissioner Muller said no. She said
23 if she made a motion, it would be a motion to deny. She thinks the neighbors have brought up some
24 valid concerns, and she doesn't have enough information on the Park Board discussion. She said she
25 is not comfortable that this is the best spot for the tower.
26
27 Vice-Chairman Boutte and Commissioner Muller agreed that a representative from the Park Board
28 should attend the City Council meeting and give a clear explanation on why they looked at this
29 particular spot.
30
31 Motion was made to approve ZA00-117 subject to Specific Use Permit Review Summary No. 3,
32 dated December 29, 2000, to approve the requested variance for the equipment building location;
33 to require the placement of shrubs as shown on the Site Plan in lieu of the required bufferyard and
34 to require the applicant to be responsible for the replacement of shrubs in the event of failure; and
35 to require the applicant to install a chain link fence around the vault not to exceed 4' in height.
36
37 Commissioner Horne said he is notoriously on the residents' side in things like this, but as it has
38 been pointed out, we use a lot of cell phones in this area. He said we are the enemy. He said he is
39 really in a quandary. He said he agrees with many of the residents' points, but he also understands
40 the points of the applicant.
41
42 Motion: Stansell
43 Second: Boutte
44 Ayes: Stansell, Boutte, King (*See comments below)
45 Nays: Muller, Horne

I Approved: 3-2
2 Motion carried.
3
4 Chairman King said the reason he voted yes is to move this on to City Council. He totally agrees
5 that someone from the Park Board needs to attend the City Council meeting and asked staff to
6 contact someone from the Park Board and have him or her there to answer some of these existing
7 questions. If someone from the Park Board cannot make it, he asked that this item be tabled until
8 someone can attend. With respect to the electromagnetic fields, the applicant said he would meet
9 with Mrs. Jefferies and try to help her. He said he would like the applicant to report to City Council
10 that he has spoken to Mrs. Jefferies and that he tried to answer her questions with specifics, if
11 possible.

15 AGENDA ITEM #5 ZA00-121, REZONING AND CONCEPT PLAN FOR PROPOSED LOTS
16 1 2 3 AND 4, BLOCK 1, RICHARDS ADDITION:
17 Senior Planner Ken Baker presented this item to the Commission for a Rezoning and Concept Plan
18 for proposed Lots 1, 2, 3, and 4, Block 1, Richards Addition, on property described as Tracts 5D1
19 and 5D5, O. W. Knight Survey, Abstract No. 899; and being 4.042 acres. The property is located
20 on the south side of East Southlake Boulevard (F.M. 1709) approximately 390' west of Byron
21 Nelson Parkway. The Current Zoning is "AG" Agricultural District. The Requested Zoning is "S-
22 P-2" Generalized Site Plan District with "0-1" Office District uses and "C-2" Local Retail
23 Commercial District limited to restaurant uses only. The Land Use Category is Office Commercial.
24 The Owners and Applicants are J. W. Richards and Constance Richards. Eight written notices were
25 sent to property owners within the 200' notification area, and one response was received in favor.
26
27 Vice-Chairman Boutte asked staff to define a sit-down restaurant under the regulations. Director
28 Payne said there is no definition in the rules for a sit-down restaurant.
29
30 Vice-Chairman Boutte asked if there is anything under the regulations to prevent a drive-through
31 restaurant if that is desired. Director Payne said it would have to come back in for approval due to
32 the expansion of the building, but he is unaware of anything preventing it.
33
34 Mr. Baker said it could be requested of the applicant to eliminate drive-through restaurants.
35
36 Commissioner Horne asked if there are any provisions for alcohol at this restaurant. Mr. Baker said
37 they would have to get approval of a separate SUP for alcohol sales.
38
39 Jackey Fluitt (Washington & Associates) 3950 Fossil Creek Boulevard, Suite 210, Fort Worth,
40 Texas, presented this item to the Commission and reviewed the requested variances with them. Mr.
41 Fluitt said Mr. Ed Gibbons has two users currently in place to go on this site: one being an office
42 complex and one being a high-end restaurant.
43
44 Vice-Chairman Boutte verified that the restaurant under contract is Rooster Restaurant. Mr. Fluitt
45 said that is correct.
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on January 4, 2001 5
1
2 Ed Gibbons said yes, the restaurant under contract is Rooster Restaurant. He said the gentleman who
3 owns the Rooster Restaurant in Highland Park lives in Southlake. He said the other building is an
4 office facility about 9,900 s.f.; it is the lot adjacent and closest to the radiology facility.
5
6 Commissioner Horne asked if the owner anticipates any type of entertainment such as Kirby's
7 Restaurant. Mr. Gibbons said he cannot really answer to that. He said he knows they will pursue
8 alcohol sales in the future.
9
10 Vice-Chairman Boutte said this Commission has been very reluctant to go against the Land Use
11 Plan. He said the applicant is asking them to zone for restaurants on land that is shown as office. He
12 thinks that Roosters is exactly the type of restaurant that is suitable on this property, but it is the
13 unknown one that he has trouble with. He said once there is zoning - that is it.
14
15 Mr. Gibbons said he understands that. He said the owner of the property is perfectly willing to
16 amend the additional restaurant location and make it an office if that makes everyone happier. Mr.
17 Gibbons said they would commit to that.
18
19 Regarding restaurants, Commissioner Muller said she gets really concerned when we start talking
20 about a "name". On the surface, it may sound good but asked what if that business venture fails. She
21 said she gets a little concerned when we get wrapped up in names of businesses. The question to her
22 is whether or not the zoning category is appropriate for the property.
23
24 Vice-Chairman Boutte said he is not at all concerned if it is an elitist restaurant; that isn't it at all.
25 He said there is a very big difference between a restaurant that is serving several thousand people
26 an hour and makes their money by huge volume and a restaurant where people go in and sit down
27 for 90 minutes to two hours and have a very expensive meal. He said it means a lot less traffic going
28 in and out. He also said the applicant has agreed to limit it to one restaurant and three offices.
29
30 Director Payne said he believes they could add a stipulation in the regulations to prohibit drive-
31 through restaurants if that is what the concern is.
32
33 Commissioner Stansell said that Page 1 of the Staff Review Summary notes that the rezoning request
34 is for "S-P-2" with uses limited to non drive-through restaurant uses only on Lots 1 & 2 and "O-1"
35 uses on Lots 3 & 4. He clarified with staff that it becomes stipulated when the Commission votes
36 on this item. Director Payne said yes.
37
38 Chairman King opened the Public Hearing. No one in the audience stepped forward to speak.
39 Chairman King closed the Public Hearing.
40
41 (Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, 01-04-01, tape 1, section #3096)
42
43 Chairman King said the shear size of the building (5,000 s.f.) limits the number of types of
44 restaurants.
45
Planning and Zoning Commission Meeting Minutes on January 4, 2001 6
I Mr. Gibbons said staff has recommended that he develop Parkwood Drive before a Certificate of
2 Occupancy (C.O.) is issued. He said at one time, this was the City Hall site and Parkwood Drive was
3 to be built by the City. Currently, it goes nowhere with the exception of feeding the back property.
4 He said they have a four-acre site with two users. He thought he had made it clear to staff that he
5 would develop each building independently. He said he had hoped that by the time the last lot (Lot
6 1) develops, the French Square development would come on, and he would have some help building
7 the road. He said he thinks it is a little heavy handed to request that before a C.O. is issued that the
8 whole thing be built; it is very expensive.
9
10 Commissioner Stansell asked if it would be unreasonable to ask that before a C.O. is issued for the
11 building on Lot 1 that Parkwood Drive be completed. Mr. Gibbons said that would be very
12 acceptable.
13
14 Director Payne suggested that rather than linking the construction of Parkwood Drive to the C.O.,
15 it would be more efficient to link it to the Site Plan for Lot 1.
16
17 Commissioner Muller said she doesn't like the idea of this whole tract being commercial, and she
18 never has.
19
20 Chairman King said he has some concern that we are moving away from the Land Use Plan. He said
21 he doesn't have a whole lot of heartburn about it, but the Commission has adhered to it pretty closely
22 in the past. He shares some of the same concerns as Commissioner Muller.
23
24 Motion was made to approve ZA00-121 subject to Concept Plan Review Summary No. 3, dated
25 December 29, 2000; to approve "S-P-2" zoning with uses limited to a non drive-through restaurant
26 only for Lot 2, and "O-1" uses for Lots 1, 3, and 4; to approve the requested variances for driveway
27 spacing and driveway stacking; and require that Parkwood Drive be constructed to the intersection
28 of the common access easement to the south of the property prior to the approval of the Site Plan
29 for Lot 1.

28 item to the Commission.
29
30 Commissioner Horne asked if there will be a wall along this property. Mr. Spain said he doesn't
31 think so; they are working with the builders to keep all of their property lines open. He said it may
32 be wrought iron or some other open type fencing.
33
34 Vice-Chairman Boutte clarified that the requests tonight for Clariden Ranch have nothing
35 whatsoever to do with the 24 acres reserved for the school. Mr. Spain said that is correct.
36
37 Chairman King said the school is not before the Commission tonight - just the lot development.

10 AGENDA ITEM #9 ZA00-131, PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR CLARIDEN RANCH:
11 Senior Planner Ken Baker presented this item to the Commission for a Preliminary Plat for Clariden
12 Ranch on property described as Tracts 1, IA, and 2, situated in the W. Mills Survey, Abstract No.
13 877; and Tract 1 situated in the M. Medlin Survey, Abstract No. 1588; being 95.637 acres. The

16 Low Density Residential and 65 LDN Overlay Corridor. The Owners of the property are Bill

19 were received.
20
21 Paul Spain (Terra Land & Cattle Company) 2740 Fuller Wiser Road, Euless, Texas, presented this
22 item to the Commission and reviewed the requested variances with them.
23
24 Regarding the equestrian trail, Mr. Spain said that when he went before the Park Board for Crown
25 Ridge Addition, they moved that equestrian trail to the south side of Bob Jones Road. He said the
26 Park Board had them move it from T.W. King to Bob Jones Road. He said the Park Board did that
27 in order for equestrians to come off of the lake and come down Bob Jones Road and into the staging
28 area in Bob Jones Park.
29
30 Commissioner Muller asked staff if they were familiar with that request. Mr. Baker said this is the
31 first he has heard about it.
32
33 Commissioner Muller asked staff if they have any idea how these issues can be addressed instead
34 of catching the Commission off guard. Mr. Baker said the mechanism is in place. He said these cases
35 go before the Park Department, and he has not received comments from them on this issue.
36
37 Director Payne said he doesn't know what to tell the Commission. He said he is hearing it for the
38 first time with the Commission. He said the applicant is trying to do what he is supposed to do and
39 what we have is an internal communication issue.
40
41 Commissioner Muller said she would suggest that someone attend the City Council meeting
42 regarding this trail issue.
43
44 Directory Payne said that the zoning has to go before the City Council twice and the Commission
45 may want to hold this plat up. He said it won't slow the applicant down any.

4 Jim O'Brien, 4380 Saddle Ridge Road, Southlake, Texas, said the northeast corner of this property
5 is not shown on this plan but is being proposed as a school. He asked what the contingency will be
6 for that piece of land if this plat is approved.
7
8 Commissioner Muller said the Land Use Plan shows it as residential.
9
10 Vice-Chairman Boutte said the school is not before the Commission tonight. He said the applicant
11 will have to come forward at some point in the future with whatever plan he has for that land.
12
13 Chairman King said it has been clearly stated that the school property is not before the Commission
14 tonight. It is zoned "AG" and it remains "AG". He said this Commission is not making a
15 commitment either way what will happen with that property. He thinks the applicant knows that.
16
17 Boyd Dollar, 525 Brooks Court, Southlake, Texas, said there have been two instances here tonight
18 where the Park Board has made deals outside of our normal process of talking to SPIN, etc. This
19 really bothers him. He said we need to solve this problem. It really bothers him that the Park Board
20 makes deals with developers and then the project comes to SPIN. He would ask that SPIN be
21 involved in the initial phase. He asked if Mr. Spain will add to the bylaws the restriction against
22 solid fencing. He asked if there will be a turn lane onto White Chapel Boulevard. He encouraged the
23 applicant to have a turn out lane so that traffic won't have to turn out into moving traffic and that
24 they can merge into it. He also questioned why the applicant is platting the entire 95 acres.
25
26 Chairman King closed the Public Hearing.
